..and all I have to say is WOW!

This combo removed any scratches or swirls that I had in my 99 Imola Red M3. After I used these products on my car, I pulled my car into the sun to look at it, and absoulty no swirl marks. I am extremely happy with these products. If you have a dark car, and would like to try something with a PC, try these products.

Now, I need to try a good wax. Can anyone recommend a good wax? I've tried the 3M Liquid wax, Meguires Yellow wax, and Griot's Garage Best of Show wax, all with OK results. The Griots is terrible to buff off, and doesn't seem to last long. Next wax I am going to try is the P21S wax.

Just thought I would add my .02 cents.

Jesse, the M3 looks stunning.

What color and manufacturer of pads?

TIA

I have used two different types of foam pads with my PC (Porter-Cable). For the 3M Perfect-It Foam Polishing Pad Glaze, I used Griot Garage's orange foam pad. For the 3M Finesse-It II, I used a Lake Country yellow Cutting pad.

It's amazing stuff, I am very happy with the results.

Just for FYI sakes, the griots pads are re-branded lake country pads. And I agree with you, 3M polishes are quite good!

all in agreement...although i've always found the FI-II to be a bit tough to remove. DACP breaks down better and comes off in a cinch.

Once you try P21S, you'll never need or want to use another wax.

Good to know David, thanks. I love both sets of my Lake Country pads. The Orange (http://www.autopia-carcare.com/lcm-76-2165vc.html) ones are my workhorses :)
